How Bad Must Your NFL Team Suck If It Takes Free Beer To Get Fans To Come To The Game?

(Source)The Jacksonville Jaguars are running a ticket promotion where fans get two free beers when they buy a ticket to Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts. The NFL has antiquated blackout rules where a game cannot be shown on television in a local market if it’s not sold out 72 hours before game time. The Jaguars haven’t had a blackout in years and promised before the season that they’d sell out all eight home games.

 

 

Generally speaking, what’s booze for? It’s for celebration and sorrow. Something good happens? Pop a bottle of champagne. Something bad? Turn off the lights and grab a bottle of whiskey.

 

And Jaguar fans are doing the latter. Right now they’re the guy trying to convince his buddies to go to a shitty bar his girlfriend is dragging him to, “C’mon it’ll be fun, we’ll just get shitfaced.” They’re the guy who slings back two more shots before he takes the fat girl home from the bar. I don’t hate the move. Lord knows I’ve used alcohol as a solution on countless occasions. Just not a great look for an organization that’s part of the most popular sport in the country to have to promise their friends a few rounds if they come and hang out for a few hours.

 

Stupid people may be down on the Pats but at least Kraft isn’t on his knees begging us to go to Gillette. Could be worse.
